My partner and I enjoyed this restaurant around 11am on a Monday. We were looking for breakfast and…read moreI had this place on my list. Thankfully, there was no line and we grabbed a seat immediately. There were quite a bit of people outside Kuro Bagels and Kuro Coffee nearby! As a tourist, I didn't know anything about this place, I simply noted it as somewhere to have breakfast. It was really cozy inside and I loved the seating downstairs. The music was nice and added to the ambiance, the service was all very helpful too. I had a cappuccino and the Turkish eggs, everything was really good! Doesn't seem like much but really fills you. Happy to have been able to enjoy this place!

This café is so cute and an intimate restaurant with a homey vibe. Easy to find using google maps, and service is fast. We got very basic items the first visit - the omelette, the baguette and Americano. So simple and so good, that we told them we'd be back to try the Jacket Potato (cute name lol) which is basically a delicious baked potato, and for the crepe. Jacket Potato was so delicious with Judith's home made chicken curry. We got the savory salmon crepe, aka galette, and then we finished off with a dessert crepe - strawberries, bananas and Nutella. I would say this is the best dessert crepe I've ever had. Judith was so generous with the fruit portions and the Nutella/fruit/crepe ration was really great. We enjoyed our second visit so much we said we'll come back tomorrow for one more breakfast. I'll update with what we get tomorrow!

I tried an almond croissant (it was just ok) I wouldn't order again. I always order my iced American with a pump of chocolate, which can be difficult to find here in London. It was good.

My iced Americano with chocolate a standard, but I was so happy to get it because they don't have a lot of chocolate or iced drinks here in London. They do have Matcha if you are into that. Great place to stop by for a quick take away. Prices are good. Thanks for having dark chocolate!

From the moment my wife and I walked in the slightly taller blonde bartender's first words to me were "NO". Not sure why a party of two couldn't wait, but the truth is that they had space for us and even after a party of two closed out, instead of sitting us, they relocated a party of four that was already eating to simply fill two extra chairs. The only nice person was a shorter gentleman/sever who tired to sit us multiple times but this same blonde kept shutting him down. It was literally our first pub experience in London and we were excited. What a let down

He had some construction workers in front of us with a large order. There was really no need as it gave us time to decide. I knew before we left for London that I was not going to be able to try an "English breakfast" while visiting as, what are the chances that they had a vegetarian one. Well George's has one, right there on the menu! I had to get it. My husband just got regular eggs and bacon. My vegetarian English breakfast was eggs, fries/chips, beans and mushrooms, we did have to order the toast separately. Sooo good! And sooo much food. George/nick himself is also fantastic. He came out for a minute to check on us and chat. If you're in London, you need to go here at least once for breakfast.

He was charming, around when needed and I feel I cannot say enough good things about him. Onto the meal, I had the F&C (ofc) and the boy had the roast chicken. The PU's were not wrong, literally the best F&C I have had in a very long time! The alcohol prices were better than the local pubs & the ambiance here is out of this world, just beautiful!

Battered like it owed someone money. Crisp on the outside, flaky in the middle, seasoned right. Chips were chunky, like they should be, not those little frozen fries that taste like sadness. Mushy peas weren't shy either. Tartar sauce had enough punch to remind you you're in Britain, not on a cruise ship. My bruv was with me, the one who's always got it all figured out. While I was neck-deep in cod and joy, he's sat there with a pot of tea and a steak omelette like some kind of Soho aristocrat. Didn't say a word, just nodded at the first bite. Man knows what he's doing. Service was sharp. Our waitress had that no-nonsense, bit-of-a-tease energy. Proper London. Never hovered, didn't push us out, and no fuss about the tip. Let us eat, drink, breathe, and get our bearings. We sat outside, under the red umbrella. Sun peeking through the trees. Locals walking their dogs, tourists trying to look like they belong. Great crowd. Better view. Felt like I was back, in all the best ways.
